Advanced [[heart block]] such as [[complete heart block]] is an indication for a temporary [[pacemaker]] insertion.
In general, temporary cardiac pacing is indicated when a bradyarrhythmia causes symptoms and/or severe hemodynamic impairment and when permanent cardiac pacing is not immediately indicated, not available, or the risk of inserting a permanent pacemaker exceeds potential benefit. It is most commonly used for patients with symptomatic [[bradyarrhythmias]], most frequently due to [[atrioventricular (AV) nodal block]].

Indications For a Temporary Pacemaker

In general, temporary cardiac pacing is indicated when a bradyarrhythmia causes symptoms and/or severe hemodynamic impairment and when permanent cardiac pacing is not immediately indicated, not available, or the risk of inserting a permanent pacemaker exceeds potential benefit. It is most commonly used for patients with symptomatic bradyarrhythmias, most frequently due to atrioventricular (AV) nodal block.
